Yesterday's news

Yesterday I joined in with my local 1066 Quilters Guild for a Kaleidoscope workshop with Enid Newman. Although not my usual style, the idea of learning a few new tips off some seasoned pros was enough to sign me up. Enid was a fountain of knowledge and friendly too.

I had fun playing with mirrors and learning a thing or two about fussy cutting with freezer paper.

All the fabrics I had taken with me didn't work well in the mirrors, so Enid kindly passed on a pair of suitable curtains for me to repurpose.

Liz, I did a Kaleidoscope class at the Festival of Quilts. The results were interesting even in the most disgusting fabric.I bet you had a wonderful day and learnt something new,so it was worth it just for that
